SPTS Expands Chinese Customer Base with PVD Win

News

SPTS Technologies, a supplier of advanced wafer processing solutions for the global semiconductor industry and related markets, has announced that its Sigma fxP PVD system had been selected by a Chinese foundry dedicated to producing RF devices on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates. The system will be used to deposit front and backside metal layers including integrated passives for producing monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). China is one of the world's fastest growing markets for mobile phones, and increasing counts of GaAs-based switches and power amplifiers (PAs) appear in every handset. As a production-proven platform used by the majority of the world's leading radio frequency IC (RFIC) device makers, the Sigma fxP system provides the critical capabilities for GaAs based RFIC fabrication.

"SPTS is proud to be part of China's developing compound semiconductor device manufacturing industry," said Kevin T. Crofton, executive vice president and chief operating officer at SPTS Technologies. "We look forward to contributing to our customer's success in their production ramp." 

This is SPTS' second new Chinese customer announcement in recent weeks, following previous announcement from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT) selection of a SPTS' Primaxx® Monarch 3 dry release system for MEMS. Chinese domestic production of such components will grow to serve the China market, the world's largest consumer of handsets.
